Quick quiz: what personal hygiene chore is acceptable at a public parade?
* flossing to get big chunks of meat out of your teeth
* clipping your big old curling yellow toenails
* cleaning your ears with a waxy cotton swab you found
* brushing your hair
Yeah, I suppose if you have to do one of those, hair brushing would be the best.
Unless of course you try one of those Arthur Fonzarelli moves and you can’t even hold on to your brush, and the woman next to you gives a look of disgust, and then the parade marchers start shouting “Dork! Dork! Dork! over the loudspeaker.

hold head at angle achieved by trying to “visualise” on the left knee, while balancing the “brush”, to emulate a large rampaging beast.

He’s in Turkey, right? COuldn’t he just slap on a fez and avoid all bad hair days? Hello?!
- Posted by Dee TDee, the fez is banned in Turkey as a symbol of feudalism and of religious interference in government. The Turkish government tends to be aggressively secular.
